teaser!

hey guys! so today i have a teaser update on the new place! i tried to take a picture of the paint colour john picked but it's really hard without proper lighting! I'll give you a hint, I sent him to the store strongly urging him that a soft whimsical turquoise is my favorite! ( no i didn't use those words ). he didn't seem too interested in the decorating ( as always ), so i wanted to include him. that's how we got here!

here's an idea of the paint chip, hard to tell on the monitor, it looks really light? guess you'll have to wait and see!



this was a buffet i got FREE on craigslist! i'm such a dummy, i thought i took a picture of the "before".. i didn't! here's a during:



it was SUPER ugly before, as you can tell from the shells.. imagine those stained to an ugly oak? yuck.

here are some fabrics i picked up:



i really have NO idea what i will use this one for, but it was $0.77 a meter in the bargain center.



this one is for a custom window bench i'm making out of an old ikea shelf:



anyways, that's it for this today. hopefully within the next few days i'll be able to gather/scan my inspirational pictures! quite a few came from house of turquoise

where have i been?

give me three weeks, and you'll see! we get possession of our new place May 1st.. and let's just say these last 6 weeks have been the craziest.. ever! in three weeks we should be all moved in, place painted, furniture refinished and the blog ready for some before and after pictures! I let john pick the paint colour, and i must say i'm quite happy.

Today is beef dogs birthday, he's the big numero uno! We got him one of those big bones, you know.. the ones that look like the whole cow? we also got him a birthday hat:



We also went to ambleside park in north vancouver, we had never been there before.. i must say it's REALLY nice.







tim hortons lattes also come with certifies hearts now:



we pass by these trees everyday on our way home. it's just a circle of dead trees, john says "nature", i say "end of the world".



this is just because a miniature poodle lives here:




this is just another shot of beefy wanting to let everyone know it's his birthday:
